Alright, I listened to the preview, and holy fuck does it sound cheesey and awful and complete and utter tripe. Even the most promising track, For All I Care is ruined by awful vocals. And that's the motif for the album, awful vocals. Feign attempts at empathy. It's just grating to listen to. Indonesia sounded alright, but that's because it sounded the least like Above & Beyond.

Definitely not going to waste any more time than I already have with this album.

awfull vocals is a trend noways for the big names in trance. First armin with his shivers album, then schulz with his crap album and now this. My god

I really want to like this album. There are some A&B tracks that I really like. Vocals work sometimes, but just too often track is just about those vocals and nothing else. Alone Tonight was nice track IMO but nothing more.

Well maybe I'll check those samples --->

I'm also a bit disappointed with the album. I haven't expected so many vocals, although I like them in general.. but they sound though a bit cheesy in my opinion. the non-vocal tracks are IMO too melodic, overall the whole album isn't energetic at all. I also coudn't find at least one outstanding track.. not that this album is bad.. it's ok, maybe a bit above avarage, but nothing more.

btw.. didn't like track no. 12 at all.

will still buy this

well, unless the samples that are featured are completely different than how the tracks will sound, I guess the album has hope.

But, we know that's not the fact, what we do know, is that you're a fuckwit for not thinking someone can judge an album based off samples provided by the very people who made the album for the public to judge the album by.

Sounds like some of you were expecting banging club tracks, but that's not what they've gone for with this album.

Have a read:

I'm a fan after listening to the samples and looking forward to the album being released. As for the vocals, I think Ash Tomberlin's voice is lovely
